Instead of just guessing and messing around with this by yourself, had
you considered sending it to major antivirus developers so they can get
detection of it out (if, in fact, it is widely unknown)??

To save you looking them up, here are the sample submission addresses
of the better-known AV developers. I'd suggest that you send the
suspect file(s) to several of these you consider trustworthy...

   Authentium (Command Antivirus) <virusauthentium.com>
   Computer Associates (US) <virusca.com>
   Computer Associates (Vet/EZ) <supportvet.com.au>
   DialogueScience (Dr. Web) <Antivirdials.ru>
   Eset (NOD32) <samplenod32.com>
   F-Secure Corp. <samplesf-secure.com>
   Frisk Software (F-PROT) <viruslabf-prot.com>
   Grisoft (AVG) <virusgrisoft.cz>
   H+BEDV (AntiVir, Vexira engine) <virusantivir.de>
   Kaspersky Labs <newviruskaspersky.com>
   Network Associates (McAfee) <virus_researchnai.com>
     (use a ZIP file with the password 'infected' without the quotes)
   Norman (NVC) <analysisnorman.no>
   Panda Software <labspandasoftware.com>
   Sophos Plc. <supportsophos.com>
   Symantec (Norton) <avsubmitsymantec.com>
   Trend Micro (PC-cillin) <virus_doctortrendmicro.com>
     (Trend may only accept files from users of its products)
